I have seen a huge rise in the use of ear phones on my commute to work. Personally I would never wear them on the road as I think your ears are nearly as important as your eyes in terms of your awareness. I have seen a number of riders have very near misses because they didn't hear a car coming over their tunes.
I am definitely not trying to restart the infamous helemt debate, but IMHO it is more far dangerous to listen to music on the road than ride without a lid....
Plus the sounds of nature are lovely off road, so I don't use them there either as I feel insulated from the experience. Mind you I'd rather drive the car with the windows down than the air con on.
